Thanks Thomas, I'll take that as a degree of encouragement. Apart from
starting something on Commons about an 'accredited photographer' can anyone
else think of ways in which access to a ID card printer could be of use to
WMF projects through some community accreditation process? Wikisource access
to not-on public-display out of copyright manuscripts perhaps?

There has been talk of making nice membership cards for chapter
members, but the cost was deemed prohibitive. If we were making nice
accreditation cards at the same time there would be economies of scale
and the idea might be feasible.
I think accreditation of photographers is something to be discussed on
commons. If commons implements such a system, WMUK could get involved
to the extent of issuing cards, but I don't think the chapter would do
much else.
The risks to the WMF from being involved in the process also apply to
WMUK, although perhaps to a lesser extent since we don't host the
sites. I don't think printing the cards would be a problem, though, as
long as the design doesn't say "Wikimedia UK" on it anywhere (except
possibly in small writing on the back saying "Card produced by...").
